Very sleek and looks much more expensive than the 120-something dollars I spent on it. The assembly is definitely an investment in time but not difficult. My only gripe was with the assembly instructions, which lacked detail in some areas. Even though I followed the instructions to the letter, I had to go back and disassemble a few parts and try again.  Not a major deal, as I figured it out in the end, but time consuming. Ultimately the piece took around 3 hours to complete. An online guide to assembly would have made this a lot easier.
